[REQ] YouMail WM client

Since YouMail have released their API with documentation, I was hoping someone would be able to whip up a nice Windows Mobile client for this service. I can't be the only one who uses YouMail and would love to have it on his phone without going through Opera. Anyone interested?

I use youmail too, but I never really felt the need for a separate app. My wife has an Iphone, and I've seen the app on hers but wasn't impressed. I just set it up on the favorites panel. And I get emailed with a link to the message anyway, so I dont even launch it that way very often.
I'm not trying to discourage you, just giving my point of view.

I actually have an iphone with the youmail app on it and I find it invaluable. It's a far better solution for me than having to open up safari to go to the mobile site. The program sends a push notification rather than clogging up my email inbox with useless junk, and it's just all around a much more pleasant experience. Considering they felt the need to make clients for iPhone, Android, and Blackberry, obviously a lot of people agree with that sentiment. But to each his own I guess. I'm still hoping someone with some programming talent will be willing and able to whip something up.

I use and love you mail. I'm starting a project for a WM client. Dont wait up because I wont have much time to work on it. Once it progresses enough I might ask someone here to do some graphics for me. It will work by intercepting you mail sms messages. When it catches a message from youmail it will sync with the online acct. It will also feature a chome plugin to replace the existing missed call and VM plugins.
If possible I will also suppress the system missed call notification and show my own. Currently it annoys me that i get a text from youmail for notification of missed calls and I still get the built in missed call notification. I would like to disable the built in one. One advantage of youmail is that if someone calls you and your phone has no signal or is off, you mail still sends you a missed call notification. On the other hand if someone calls and hangs up before it goes to voicemail the system will show a notification but youmail is never aware of the call. Therefore I will suppress the system notification and show my own notifications if the system gets a missed call or if youmail gets a missed call (and each time I will need to check to see if they are notifying of the same call or if a different one occured). Better get coding.

I hope you get some time soon to work on it. Sounds great! I did a mockup of how I envisioned such a program and made some rudimentary graphics. Feel free to PM me if you are interested in them.

I'm interested too!

i hope you get some a chance to work on this i would be interested in testing this it would be nice to have a more functional youmail app it would be nice if this could work with google voice also as far as the notifcations system

this is a quick little app i whipped up like a week or two ago its nothing special but it works for your basic youmail needs. this is a quick easy solution to my needs so im sharing it with you all.

doesnt store number
works on acer neotouch but doesn't store the login info. Better to just use a favorites link on desktop and use that instead. thanks for trying though.

Nimbuzz vs Fring

Hi,
This is a new thing for me (yes, I am too late in this kind of VOIP service).
Which one is better for Android, judging for the client app?
If I read from the Nimbuzz at Cyrket, a lot of users complaint about the new version 1.4, Facebook got hacked, etc.
Fring also does not look satisfying.
So, if you are using this, which one do you recommend? and why?
For me, client reliability and network / connectivity are the most important.
Thanks for sharing !

Damn ...
I found that NimbuzzOut is not supported on Nimbuzz Android app
I want to use it to make international calls to land-line / mobile ...

calling to mobile and landlines works. just tried it. it took cash from my skype account
edit: i see. nimbuzz have their own system.

So, if I buy Skype credits ... then I can make call to mobile and landlines using Nimbuzz client, right? Because there is no native Skype client for Android ...
I prefer Nimbuzz own call system (NimbuzzOut), because it is much cheaper compare to Skype.

Yes if u have a skype account you buy skype credits and in nimbuzz justr login to your skype account .Voila.

Can you send SMS with either?

Nimbuzz says it sends it but it actually doesnt. havent tried with Fring.

..I read in the other thread about Nimbuzz that "it´s is always connected and it does not support push notification, so is draining alot battery.."
Well I used fring before, which was enough for my needs to have several account (skype,icq...), than I tried Nimbuzz and liked to have my Faceb. account, cool..BUT: the drain is real! Fring need much less battery!..but no FB

nimbuzz doesnt appear to have sip support in android client yet, big turn off for me, since im trying to consolidate messenger/communications apps.
sipdroid sounded like crap on my phone
fring seems pretty good, sip aim msn support and sip sounds really good quality, except its UI is ugly as balls, anyone know a way to skin it differently?
ive been using google voice with a gizmo5 number and setting up the sip account in fring and it connects pretty nicely for voip, its nice so far when i am home and have no cell reception and someone calls my cell(google voice number) and it sends the call to my sip client(fring)

I've tested both for making Skype-out calls. Both work fine. I'd prefer Nimbuzz because of the interface. But is it just me, or is there no dialer in Nimbuzz? This is the only reason I'm sticking with Fring at the moment...

I gotta say that I tried both and Nimbuzz was a clear winner for voice quality over wifi to Skype friends. Fring also has a slight delay in audio.
But I've kept Fring because of fring-a-ling (SIP calls) which work fine.

Does anybody know of any VOIP calling to international numbers for absolutely free for windows mobile. Cause im sick and tired of 200 dollar bills coming into my mail.
Thanks.

Absolutely free. I'm sure we would all want that.
Free calls to landlines don't exist. But what's wrong with Skype? The rates are ridiculously low.
http://www.skype.com/prices/callrates/

I've used fring. My landline is much cheaper. But if you add up all the minutes, It becomes expensive, especially to germany and UK. It's like 29 cents/min. Thats ALOT.

Video Chat- Evo to Computer

One of the main reasons that people like me got the evo, was for the video chat. Now that Fring no longer uses Skype, that front cam hasn't been touched for a long time.
Is there any other way to video chat with people on the computer? My girlfriend doesn't have a smartphone that can use fring. I was hoping maybe we could use Yahoo or MSN but i can't find one that uses web chat...any help?

You could use Sipdroid if you both have SIP accounts, and the one on her end supports video chat.
(SIP is an open framework, more like email; it's not a closed network like AIM, YIM, WLM, etc.)

Skype is in beta, I really hope they include video chat eventually =/
Was really hoping to be able to do this as well.

[Q] Skype app?

Just a quick question, as skype is not available for the Galaxy S, can anyone recommend an alternative app?
I still want to use my skype account, and the credit on that to make calls, mainly to france.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Nimbuzz can use skype accounts (as well as a lot of others...)
I suggest to give it a try
regards

Thanks.
It seems like the best option, but can I make skype-out calls with it using my skype credit?

you can also use Fring which supports Video Calling over IP

I'm still looking for one that will allow me to chat via video with pc skype users.

Thanks guys. I'll give these a try tomorrow.
Why can't Skype just make a proper app for Skypeout, eh

There was a android version out, but limited to some mobiles, providers and just USA i think..
Dunno why no skype app is available for us..

Skype blocked Fring.
Nimbuzz works on SGS and supports Skype out... Few bugs but ok to use.
And that's it, nothing else for skype available at the moment

I use Nimbuzz but like others mentioned it is pretty buggy.

Searching will find 'com.skype.android.lite.apk'
Haven't tried it, but it is available.​

so Apple's Facetime is somewhat unique since we can't do Video calling over IP on the SGS

Thanks guys. Now using Nimbuzz, found my Skype credit, now testing over the weekend
Edit: Crap, the calls go through, ring, but when the person on the other end picks up, there is silence at both ends. Any ideas?

We can't do video chat using Google Chat? I'm surprised!

for moment whe can use iMovicha ... this program allow video chat also with client pc or with other phone with the same program instaled .. but , whe miss fring or some version skype for android

I wonder when someone creates a facetime compatible app (either on PC or android or any other device).
Would be great..
And why skype isnt able to make a new androidversion is also a good question..

Even though I'm also looking for one, there have been many topics on this. Please use the search function.
In summary; No, there is no SkypeOut program for Android right now. The closest we have is Fring, but I've heard that it can be quite buggy.

Nimbuzz is the only programm which is able to login using your Skype Account and placing voice calls, but sound quality is disappointing.
For chat I prefer Imo.Im

Nimbuzz and fring used to be able to do Skype (badly) but they no longer support Skype at all from what I can see...
I am not aware of anything that can use plain Skype on android right now. Other threads mentioning fring, nimbuzz etc are out of date.
